As we have learned

Acceleration due to gravity (g) -

Force extended by earth on a body is gravity.

Formula:    g=frac{GM}{R^{2}},

g=frac{4}{3}pi 
ho , GR

g
ightarrow gravity


ho 
ightarrow density of earth

R 
ightarrow Radius of earth

 

- wherein

It's average value is 9.8: m/s^{2}; ; or ; ; 981cm/sec^{2}; or; 32feet/s^{2} on the surface of earth

 

For earth    \frac{G'm_{e}M's}{r^{2}}= \frac{m_{e}}{r}

v^{2}= \frac{G'M's}{r}

g= \frac{G'M'e}{R^{2}}

G'= 10g , M's=10Ms

g'= 10g

rain drop will fall faster walking on the ground become more difficult 

Time period of  simple pendulum(2\pi \sqrt{l/g}) will decrease
